“ p a n d e m o n i u m

you have conquered me
this way m a d n e s s lies

I am separated from certainty”

Unreason

Featuring Chris Morgan on trumpet, this electronic composition blended with trumpet produces what I like to call Electro Jazz or more traditionally, Jazz Fusion style. Originally created with Korg Gadget, the tracks were exported to Pro Tools for adding the trumpet and mixing.

This song was born from my childish harmonica.
I hope you like it.
Thanks for listening.

Wistful Recollections of Playthings Past

CHAOS

Can't stop the rain falling from the sky
Can't stop the wind blowing through the leaves
Can't stop the leaves falling from the trees
Can't stop my bones from turning into dust

I just must trust
My time on Earth
Added up to something
My time on Earth
Added up to something

All things that come
They too must pass
And with the blinking of an eye
The time, it comes, for them to die

So, like the famous butterfly,
Did my flutterings alter some thing?
Will I leave an echo or a trace
On departing from this Place?

What was my life?
What was it for?

I made some noise
I made some sounds
But when I cease to be around
The air will still itself once more

I caused some ripples as I splashed
But when I am no more, alas
The water will be calm just as before

Can't stop the rain falling from the sky
Can't stop the leaves falling from the trees
Can't stop the natural flow of energy...

Knowing Is Half The Battle

Roses and a Thirty-Eight       c. 2021 by M. A. Manetz

V1
Long hot summer of '99, half boy, half man, half out of my mind.
The summer I wrecked my dad's Corvette, the summer...when we first met.
First for you, first for me, fruit from that forbidden tree,
We picked all we could get, love without a safety net...

Chorus
I've lived in shame and sorrow,
Only one chance left to make it right.
I'll trade all my tomorrows,
Gonna make it up to you tonight.

V2
Your pa said, “boy, better mind your ways, hurt my girl I'll make you pay”.
But the seed was sown, sealed our fate, October came and you were late.
I got scared, ran that day, joined the army, went away.
Left you there to bear our sin, never saw your face again.

Chorus

V3
It's been nearly twenty years, now you're gone and I'm still here,
Of all the things that I regret, that's the one that haunts me yet...              
Not much left for me to say, I'll lay these flowers at your grave.
Now I'm gonna set things straight with roses and this thirty-eight...roses and a thirty-eight...

Chorus

Lyrics are below!
Down Like That.....
Chorus:
Down like That
Down like that
If you feeling me —-where I’m at
Lemme hear you say
Down like that

***verse1
I am the the real —-number one—bonafide —-numero uno
That’s the deal—-Do or die—-
Ask—-someone—That you know
been revealed—who I am—-
don’t really need —-an intro
Real appeal—this is why—
each discussion —might —seem nouveau

Verse2
As I sink into this mix —-don’t hold me ——let go
And I’ve got it all baby —-even ———if it’s retro
balancing act ——equilibrium———if you -can follow
that’s a hard pill -to swallow——now—- come on let’s go
Feel the vibe ——in your body ———like an undertow
Tried and true ——-just a fact———and you all know-the logo
This is how I——mix and match —drink it up —it’s pure—mojo

Bridge
Level one up—
level ——-level one up
I get down
level ——-level one up
sound on sound
level ——-level one up
you’ll come around

Verse3
a new challenge —-to take on—
come on ———let’s —get down —
Accept my imperfections
A rap addict —reborn—-
hard as steel go on
session after session
honed and built for action ———
Like My name was Smith and Wesson
This is where ——I belong —--are there Anymore questions?

Verse4
Bet —I—-still——- flow over this ——--right tight!
How can I miss ——-push verses ——day and night
it’s just a fix ——-till I reach—-my new ——-heights ——
still deep in the mix———level one up —-Aight!!!
there’s always chance I’ll swing through ——you know I will
that’s how I get down ————I got you——so—chill
But for now—this is all I can do— just—-until
That time comes ——-take a sip —drink it up—— don’t— spill

Taking it back
